Why buy a Ride On Mower?
You may want to look at buying a ride on mower if your lawn is more than a half an acre in size. Although you could mow a large lawn with a walk behind mower, and it is great exercise, a riding mower will make the job a lot easier. The mowing deck on a ride on mower is considerably wider than that of a walk behind so a major advantage is that you can cover more ground more quickly.
There are generally two types of ride on mowers. Those with their cutting decks underneath the tractor, generally referred to as lawn tractors, and those with their mowing decks in front of the machine, often called zero-turn mowers because of their maneuverability. Mowing decks on ride on mowers are rotary and have two or three cutting blades. Deck width can vary in size anywhere from 38" to 54" and wider for commercial mowers.
There is a wide range of brands on the market that offer various features and engine size. A model with an engine output of 8.5HP would be suitable for a lawn up to one acre in size. If your lawn is larger than that then you should consider a model that has 11.5HP to 13HP as they will not have to work as hard to do the job.
By paying a more you will get a machine that can handle tough conditions as it will have been built with rugged conditions in mind. You will also get better features and a more comfortable ride which is a big consideration.
